In Formal Ceremony
At the guest meeting of the Fiction Club yesterday in Room 324,
Mrs. Mary Dye Beach of the English department entertained members and guests with an account of
her trip around the world. Ruth
Schlaegei, accompanied by Joe
Lewis, sang "Ah Sweet Mystery of
Life" and "Because."
Mrs. Beach spoke of her arrival
on the Japanese boat in San Francisco. She said that when she
reached the zero line, she got an
odd feeling and she realized that
that was the one day she never
lived. For when you cross this imaginary line, you lose a day.
She then told a number of her
Japanese experiences. "A Japanese girl with whom I correspond
quite frequently," Mrs. Beach stated,
"has in her letters revealed the attitude of the higher class Japanese
in regard to their present war with
China, namely that Japan has a
mission to perform ln China and
that the two races of the same
color should live in unity." Mrs.

SATANS TO TRAVEL
TO KOKOMO FRIDAY
The Shortridge Blue Devils, fresh
from their brilliant 36-27 victory
over Manual, will travel to the
headquarters of the Kokomo Kats
Friday night, where they will play
in what promises to be one of the
best games of this season.
The boys from Kokomo have a
team that is rated among the best
in Indiana this year. They proved
this last week-end by clinching the
North Central Conference title
with a 30-28 verdict over the Logansport Berries.
On the other hand our Blue team,
with a record of ten wins and five
losses, will be seeking victory number eleven. Last year the Shortridge vs. Kokomo game was held
at the Shortridge gym and the
hosts handed the Kats a 39-31 defeat.
The probable line-up for the contest will Ue: Ralph Hesler and John
Allerdice at forwards; Fred Krampe
at center; Bill Hardy and Dick
Gage at guards. Other players that
will probably make the trip are
Jim Stiver, Bob Raber, Frank Levinson, Byron West, Chuck Benjamin, and John Merrill.
Tickets for the contest Friday
night can be purchased at the
bookstore for thirty-five cents. They
are reserved tickets. The Kokomo
athletic officials request that no one
should come to the game unless he
has a ticket, because there will be
no more tickets available there.
